Abstract
A method of upcycling fiber reinforced polymer source material by disassembling the source material into sections; planking the sections into longitudinal pieces; separating core material from the source material in the longitudinal pieces to make composite strips; preparing the composite strips; and remanufacturing the prepared composite strips into an article.
Claims31
A method of upcycling fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material, comprising:
- disassembling a FRP source material into sections;
- planking the sections into longitudinal pieces;
- separating the longitudinal pieces into core material portions to make waste, and composite material portions to make composite strips;
- preparing the composite strips;
- remanufacturing the prepared composite strips into a resultant article, and
- wherein the remanufacturing step further comprises setup, layout, gluing, forming, and finishing.

A resultant article of upcycled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material, produced by the steps of:
- disassembling a FRP source material into sections;
- planking the sections into longitudinal pieces;
- separating the longitudinal pieces into core material portions to make waste, and composite material portions to make composite strips;
- preparing the composite strips;
- remanufacturing the prepared composite strips into a resultant article, and
- wherein the remanufacturing step further comprises setup, layout, gluing, forming, and finishing.
